Telnyx Expands Text-to-Speech Capabilities with Neural Voices and ElevenLabs Integration

2, Dec 2024

We’re excited to announce two major enhancements to our Text-to-Speech (TTS) services: Neural voices powered by AWS Polly and Azure AI Speech, and a new integration with ElevenLabs. These updates provide Telnyx users with high-quality audio and greater flexibility in managing TTS services.

1. Neural Voices from AWS Polly and Azure AI Speech

Telnyx now supports Neural Text-to-Speech (NTTS) engines from AWS Polly and Azure AI Speech, delivering advanced, natural-sounding audio experiences. Unlike standard concatenative synthesis, NTTS technologies leverage neural networks to produce speech with improved intonation and fluidity, ideal for applications requiring high-quality voice interactions.

  • Benefits to Users: Enhanced realism in voice quality, with smoother, more lifelike speech. Users can access a variety of natural-sounding voices from both AWS Polly and Azure AI Speech. Perfect for customer-facing and interactive applications that require high-fidelity audio.
  • Pricing: Please take a look at our price list
  • Getting Started: Setup instructions are available in our TTS Guide.

2. ElevenLabs Integration

Additionally, Telnyx now offers integration with ElevenLabs, enabling users to connect their own ElevenLabs accounts to Telnyx’s TTS services. This integration gives users access to a broader range of voice options, empowering them to customize voice interactions without additional Telnyx fees.

  • Benefits to Users: Flexibility to use tailored voice profiles by directly connecting existing ElevenLabs accounts.
  • Account Flexibility: All related costs are managed directly through users’ ElevenLabs accounts, with no additional Telnyx fees.
  • Getting Started: Link your ElevenLabs account by following the steps in our TTS Guide.

Both updates are now available, ready to enhance your Text-to-Speech experience on the Telnyx portal.
